I got to play an ebony bodied guitar once. Made by Petros. It was one of the brightest sounding guitars I have played. This surprised me at the time. But thinking about I realized that ebony is pretty hard, so as a tonewood it wouldn't move too much. Hence the brightness.
Fortunately I bought a Baritone just before TusCon, so I am not tempted to buy another guitar any time soon.
